Now then, for you lucky few who will be joining us lucky masses pilgriming to Atlanta, be sure to watch my Twitter feed. Yep, we'll be playing "Find Jen And Win A Prize!" again this year, mostly because it's fun and because I haven't bothered to think of a snazzier name for it.

We'll also have a much wider variety of prizes this year, including: (drum roll, please)

- I'll probably also bring some custom bookplates, in case any of you'd like a personalized autograph.

To win a necklace or calendar you may need a word or phrase of the day, which I'll be divulging on Twitter. The rest, however, will be available to anyone who asks for them - until we run out.

And just to make things a little easier for you seekers, here are a few tips:

- I am NOT a morning person. Don't bother looking for me before noon. (Although I'll make an exception for Saturday's parade.)

- We'll be there all four days.

- We probably won't be in costume at any time. So just look for a shorty in pigtails. And John. And my parents, who you don't know, but I hear my mom will be wearing elf ears. ("You bought what?") So. Um. There's that.

- I'll be spending a disproportionately large amount of time gawking in Artist's Alley. And by proxy, so will John. :)

- We'll probably also be at some/all of the Stargate: Atlantis cast panels. (The only autograph I'm after? David Hewlett's. Awww yeeeah.)

So, keep an eye out for us, and I hope to see some of you there!

UPDATE: David Hewlett has just canceled for Dragon*Con. Please pass the tissues. [sniffle]

I may cry from jealousy. Scrap that. I AM crying from jealousy. Sometimes I hate being Aussie. There are no decent cons here that the cool actors come to. Atlantis cast? *cries* David Hewlett? *weeps*. If someone says Paul McGillion is there I may have to go back to bed and not come out for a while.

Meanwhile, have the best time! And please please please, can you do something awesome for your 'fans' that live in pokey annoying places overseas? And my fans, I mean me! :-) Will cheer us/me up immensely!

We were in Atlanta last year the weekend of DragonCon... however, we were there to watch Alabama start their march to a national title. (It's football, Jen. That's the one with the odd-shaped brown ball)

In addition to those two events, there was also a gay pride rally going on on Spring Street--which we were not aware of until I decided to take this road back to our hotel.

Needless to say, the three very different groups of crazies made for an eventful weekend! Enjoy!

We'll be there and probably in some of the StarGate panels too. We have gone for the last 4 years. (We gotta raise the youngin' right!) We'll look for you. We're in the Marriott...like you really care! *snort* ;-)

oh, wow. David Hewlett. Love him. and his twitter account. and now that Joe Flanigan has gotten onto twitter, too, life is good. Especially when they snark at each other. As for DC, i too am jealous. David, Jason and Paul all together. And Summer Glau and Sean Maher from FireFly? sigh, so so jealous.For those who wonder when where their favorite Stargate Actors appear at conventions, you can keep track here.http://stargateactorappearances.blogspot.com/

and the twitter is http://twitter.com/JoeFlaniganhttp://twitter.com/dhewlett

and of course David has his dgeek webpage and David Nykl his letters from pegasus page, and ... yeah, i am a major fan.

and sometimes at the cons, they do photo ops where u can get a photo taken together with David and Joe.

If you or anyone is interested, some friends and I put together a Dragon*Con Photo Scavenger Hunt for this year. It's totally just for fun -- but there's also a prize for the winner. :) http://dcphotohunt.wordpress.com/

Elisabeth, there is indeed Dr. Who stuff at Dragon*Con. Many, many panels of it. Dragon*Con is split into fan tracks, and the British media track is about half Dr. Who (and the other half Monty Python and other silliness!).

I may have an advantage - I volunteer to work on staff in the big ballrooms each year, so I see almost everyone at 'con at least once (as long as I know who I'm looking for!).

I might bring a picture of one of my own wrecks for you to sign, lol. If I can find you! This is going to be my first Dragoncon and I am so excited!!!! I'll be the one dressed as TF G1 Bumblebee. Look for the bright yellow felt robot. =D

Wish I was going to Dragon Con but we sprang for a weekend in Wisconsin over Halloween for House on the Rock's festival of the Gods weekend. Neil Gaiman will be there and it's a whole weekend devoted to the anniversary of his novel American Gods. We save our cash and be ready to fully geek then. Plus our anniversary weekend! The real point of my comment being that I just found your blog yesterday and have spent a good few hours pouring through all your past posts. And can I say WOW! I love this "new" blog of yours...the nerd stuff, the DIY, the pretty jewelry and cool baubles, the how-tos. I'm hitting the hardware store and craft store today. I love the Tara McPherson toys that you put in a shadowbox. We have so many tiny toys that are so hard to display and such a pain to dust around. Thanks for this blog! I love it more than Cake Wrecks.

I am SO SO jealous of all of you who are going to Dragon*Con! I would love to see any of the Stargate cast, but especially David!!!!! If I could go to Atlanta, I'd take a short hop between and visit the Weyrs :)

This will be our first year at Dragon*Con. Once I found out you were going, I squealed (yes, actually squealed) with glee. If you see a unicorn running toward you, screaming hysterically, that would be me. Please don't run - the costume involves a corset and it's going to be difficult for me to move very quickly.Can't wait!!!

I hope I remember to check Twitter while I'm there - I'm local, so I'll be there Saturday and part of Sunday, but I'm too cheap to pony up for a hotel room (plus I didn't think about it until everything for miles around was already booked up!).

I'll be down there for my first Dragon*Con. I'm going down with members of The Hunter's Lair in my Predator suit, and we'll be at the beginning of the parade. So, if you see a bunch of Predators chasing Aliens and USCM members, at least one of them is a fan of your blog.

never post, but I follow Cakewrecks and epbot regulary. AND I will be at DC!!! I'm so excited. I've pretty much bounced all week, so far!! And I will be at a couple of Stargate panels too!! Hope to see you there!!
